As we may have mentioned, it’s real estate awards season. By now, you must have heard of The Seppes, an evening gala to top all galas, otherwise known as JP & Associates annual black-tie awards.
JP & Associates is one of the hottest real estate stories in North Texas. A story that is so big, it’s quickly becoming a national story, as JPAR gains recognition from industry heavyweights such as REAL TRENDS, Inman, the Inc. 5000, and more as one of the top 100 real estate brokerages in the US.
Founded by Giuseppe “JP” Piccinini in Frisco, JPAR is a full-service transaction-based real estate brokerage firm specializing in real estate sales and marketing services. With more than 1500 agents (growing daily), 21 offices and $2.6 billion in sales in 2018, JPAR operates multiple offices across Texas, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Florida. It is the largest independent and privately held brokerage in Texas, and third in DFW for home sales.
“Our model – a full-service brokerage with a capped transaction fee, a productivity standard, and a service-based culture – is resonating with agents and consumers alike,” said Mark Johnson, JPAR Chief Operating Officer. “We have built a top producers dream and a culture that supports the emerging trend of teams.”
The fifth annual Seppe Awards gala took place this year on Sunday, Feb. 17, at Gilley’s in The Cedars. Every square molecule of the venue’s 91,000 square feet was packed with JPAR agents, friends and supporters. The Seppes have grown sequentially, and this year I estimate at least 1,500 were celebrating, dressed to the nines, and rocking to the band Emerald City.
And to think the very first Seppes took place in JP’s living room five years ago!
Nicknamed Seppe (short for Giuseppe, JP Giuseppe’s legal name), the 5th Annual Seppe’s Awards did not disappoint. The surprise comes at about 11:00 pm flor those who are still dancing (most everyone): Waffle House! Last year, it was Whataburger. What will it be next year? Jump for this years winners and more fantastic photos of an evening that exceeded expectations…
